README for vlc, the VideoLAN Client
Introduction
============
The vlc is part of the VideoLAN project, a full MPEG2 client/server
solution. The VideoLAN Client can also be used as a standalone program
to play MPEG2 streams from a hard disk or a DVD.
Building, Installing and Running VideoLAN
=========================================
See the INSTALL file for this.
Troubleshooting
===============
A mailing-list has been set up for support and discussion about the
vlc. Its address is :
<vlc@videolan.org>
To subscribe, send a mail to <listar@videolan.org> with the following
words in the mail body :
subscribe vlc
To unsubscribe, do the same with the words :
unsubscribe vlc
When reporting bugs, try to be as precise as possible (which OS, which
distribution, what plugins you were trying, and so on).
Resources
=========
The VideoLAN web site at http://www.videolan.org/ is a good start for
information about MPEG and DVD playing. Have a look at the documentation
section, as well as the bookmarks.
You can also try the OpenDVD site at http://www.opendvd.org/ or the
the LiViD project at http://www.linuxvideo.org/. They have lots of
information, too.
